Development of an Automatic Street Light Management System

Abstract

Nowadays, human life has become too much busy for manual work. It is rare to find time even to switching the lights wherever necessary. This project is basically organized for the developing modern society among us. For a developing country the most important content is to save its electrical energy. We tried here to develop such a street light system where we can reduce both cost and manual function. This project is developed in such a way that the percentage of manual work is almost demolished. Two types of sensors are used here. Light Dependent Sensor usually known as LDR is used to detect day & night, which will help to operate the system to run automatically and infrared sensors are used here tor detecting the movement of the roads. Arduino Mega is used as the brain of this project which controls the full system. A GSM shield is used here to send alert messages in case there occurs any problem on the system or for safety issues. The programming language used in this prototype version is C Language. Finally the system is designed and implemented in its prototype version.
